Our New Addition!

A couple of weeks ago we welcomed a new addition to our family, little “Woody” Woodstock!

We had discussed having more pets on a number of occasions, but decided it was better to wait until Allan moves in so we have time off and could both be at hand to help them settle in. But during our week off we went to Pets At Home to buy some treats for Panda and, well you can’t go in there and not look at the animals can you?

As the cloud of guinea pigs dispersed there he was, and we both knew. Allan asked if we could see him and Woody sat so sweetly on his chest. He was also the fluffiest little fella I’ve ever touched! After confirming that he was a boy (although I would love a house full of baby piggies it’s maybe not such a good idea!) and going through the necessary paperwork and information, he was ours!

I was worried about how Panda would react to his new roomie but it only took a short introduction and a little rumblestrut from Panda to assert his dominance before they became best buddies!

Woody follows Panda EVERYWHERE! It’s the cutest thing! Wherever Panda walks, Woody follows. When we pick Panda up or if he goes out of sight, Woody squeaks as if shouting “Panda, Panda, Panda”. They just have this really sweet older brother/younger brother thing going on!

Panda does need a bit of time away from Woody sometimes because he’s a bit hyper, but we give them some “me time” each as well as lots of floor time together.

I’m so glad we popped into the pet shop that day, he’s the perfect little friend for us all!
